Gaya kepemimpinan pada era sekarang harus dibangun sejak dini dengan berbagai upaya salah satunya dengan pembinaan berkesinambungan. Setiap pemimpin memiliki perbedaan khusus baik itu pemimpin laki-laki ataupun perempuan. Di era sekarang ini atau biasa disebut era globalisasi, istilah gender mungkin sudah tidak asing lagi, karena banyaknya wacana yang sangat berkembang tentang pengaruh gender disemua bidang, terutama dalam hal kepemimpinan di bidang pedidikan islam. Penelitian ini bertujuan mendeskripsikan tentang kepemimpinan pendidikan islam dan gender. Metode yang digunakan yaitu studi pustaka (library research), yang menggunakan sumber-sumber berupa buku-buku dan artikel jurnal yang sesuai. Dalam hasil penelitin ini bahwa kesetaraan gender dalam memimpin khusunya dilembaga pendidikan bukanlah suatu hal yang tabu, karena pemimpin harus mempunyai kemampuan untuk mempengaruhi dan penggerak bagi orang lain bisa berperan baik perempuan atau laki-laki yang mempunyai keterampilan sebagai seorang pemimpin. Kata kunci: kepemimpinan, gender, pendidikan islam

Natural gas is the most growing fossil fuel due to its environmental advantages. For the economical transportation of natural gas to distant markets, physical (i.e., liquefaction and compression) or chemical (i.e., direct and indirect) monetisation options must be considered to reduce volume and meet the demand of different markets. Planning natural gas supply chains is a complex problem in today's turbulent markets, especially considering the uncertainties associated with final market demand and competition with emerging renewable and hydrogen energies. This review study evaluates the latest research on mathematical programming (i.e., MILP and MINLP) as a decision-making tool for designing and planning natural gas supply chains under different planning horizons. The first part of this study assesses the status of existing natural gas infrastructures by addressing readily available natural monetisation options, quantitative tools for selecting monetisation options, and single-state and multistate natural gas supply chain optimisation models. The second part investigates hydrogen as a potential energy carrier for integration with natural gas supply chains, carbon capture utilisation, and storage technologies. This integration is foreseen to decarbonise systems, diversify the product portfolio, and fill the gap between current supply chains and the future market need of cleaner energy commodities. Since natural gas markets are turbulent and hydrogen energy has the potential to replace fossil fuels in the future, addressing stochastic conditions and demand uncertainty is vital to hedge against risks through designing a responsive supply chain in the project's early design stages. Hence, hydrogen supply chain optimisation studies and the latest works on hydrogen–natural gas supply chain optimisation were reviewed under deterministic and stochastic conditions. Only quantitative mathematical models for supply chain optimisation, including linear and nonlinear programming models, were considered in this study to evaluate the effectiveness of each proposed approach.

Objective - Despite much previous research on the issue, dividend policy remains an unsolved conundrum in corporate finance. By considering this, the goal of this research is to use the Generalized Method of Moments to examine dividend behaviour by identifying the key determinants of dividend policy in three different countries with different market microstructures: Singapore (developed market), Malaysia (developing market), and Saudi Arabia (emerging market). Methodology/Technique –. The study uses data from each country's top 100 listed firms from 2007 until 2016. The results suggest that different determinants influence firms’ dividend policies for the three countries. Findings - For Singapore as a developed market, profitability, and size are shown to be significantly and positively related to the dividend payout ratio, whereas leverage, business risk, and growth opportunities exert a significant negative effect. Meanwhile, for Malaysia (a developing market), only firm size is a significant and positive determinant. However, leverage and business risk are negatively and significantly associated with the dividend payout ratio. Conversely, for Saudi Arabia as an emerging market, firm size and leverage positively and negatively influence the dividend payout ratio. Novelty - Therefore, this study employed the generalized method of moments (GMM) to uncover novel discoveries. The findings should motivate analysts, policymakers, institutional investors, and investors to investigate the dividend policy conundrum, mainly for three different market segmentations.

Mangrove forests have a very important role as a provider of environmental services and economic support. The existence of mangrove forests in Seruyan Regency has suffered significant damage. The purpose of this study was to determine the most dominant type of mangrove landcover conversion and to calculate the rate of change. The method of analyzing changes in mangrove landcover using multitemporal Landsat images with visual classification. The classification accuracy test reached a value of 88%. The results of spatial analysis with a span of 41 years found a decrease in mangrove landcover area of 69% with an average rate of change of 71 hectares per year. The dominant cause of the decline in mangrove landcover is the landclearing of ponds, which has an average rate of change of 82 hectares per year. This activity has an impact on decreasing the diversity of mangrove vegetation types. In mangrove forests found at least two to five types of mangroves with sparse to dense densities, whereas in ponds as a result of pond clearing they are only found on the edge of ponds with sparse densities.

Effective and prudent communication needs to be inculcated so that students can face various levels of society with confidence and be able to meet the needs of future careers. The goal of this research was to improve the communication skills of a group of students at a private university. A total of 14 students were chosen to participate in the planned action research for three weeks. The study's scope includes five communication domains: confidence, language, appearance, delivery techniques, and message delivery. The study method used a two-round role-play teaching approach for a period of three weeks. The study's scope includes five communication domains: confidence, language, appearance, delivery techniques, and message delivery. The study's findings revealed that there was an increase in scores in each round of the study. The analysis revealed a significant difference between the second post test score and the pre test score. In summary, after two rounds of role-playing, students' communication skills improved significantly in each communication domain. The findings are also supported by interview data, which show that students believe they are able to use verbal and nonverbal skills to persuade others in conveying wishes and views confidently and effectively after participating in this study's role-play approach programme. The implication is that the role-play approach is an effective approach in learning communication skills, as this approach provides a safe space for students to try and practice using communication skills in real situational experience.
